"They are all darlings of heaven, their families are powerful and well-placed, and they have the confidence to support them! Even their husbands' families are polite to them and dare not neglect them! Unlike us, I still have my family to rely on, but you can't count on them at all!"

"No wonder they look down on us! I tell you, it's fate! We were born with a noble destiny, no one can compare!"

"I was stupid before. I took it seriously when people gave me a stick! I really thought that just because they smiled and said a few polite words, they really thought I was the same as them and that they would sincerely accept me!"

"And what happened? I was so eager to please that they ignored me! I was sincere, but they treated me like a joke! Your family background isn't even as good as mine, so you won't get any favors from them! Those spoiled girls are used to being flattered and fawned over. If you smile warmly at them, you're trying to curry their favor."

"Give me some tea and tell me that this is all the work of the maids and servants, so I should be more respectful!"

"I prepared gifts for them, and they accepted them happily, then gave them as rewards to the maids and servants around them."

"I finally got a good thing, and I eagerly gave it to them, but it turns out they've already gotten tired of it and it's out of date!"

"Heh—it's better for people to accept their fate! Listen to my advice, don't end up like me and become a laughing stock—"

……

Zhao was speaking the truth while drunk.

I think I was ridiculed and mocked a lot at that time, and I must have been really hurt.

The noise Zhao made was quite loud; at least Lan, who was sitting in the front seat, heard it.

Look back frequently.

Lu Zhenzhen didn't quite agree with what Zhao said. In this kind of matter, only the person who drinks the water knows whether it is hot or cold.

If you want to get something, you must pay something first.

It is naturally not easy to integrate into the circle of top ladies in Beijing.

You ask something of others, so you are inferior to them. Even if others look down on you, you have to endure it because you want to achieve your goal.

As long as you don't ask for anything and keep your distance, no one will deliberately humiliate you!

It depends on personal choice.

But Zhao probably couldn't hear these words at the moment.

Lu Zhenzhen had no intention of feeding Zhao Shi this kind of life chicken soup.

He waved his hand and signaled the maid serving beside him to bring Zhao a bowl of sobering soup.

After drinking the sobering soup, Zhao came to her senses. Realizing that she had lost her composure, she found an excuse to change her clothes and escaped.

Lu Zhenzhen knew that Zhao was embarrassed at the moment, so she just asked the maid to follow closely and make sure nothing went wrong.

Isn’t that all written in the book?

During such banquets, if you get drunk or go to change clothes, it is very easy to walk into the wrong room or be rudely treated.

Although the Prince of Shu's Mansion is a relative's home, it is better to be cautious given the precedent of Concubine Yu.

Fortunately, the Prince of Shu's wife was reliable, and everything went smoothly after the banquet.

When the banquet ended and we said goodbye and went home, nothing happened.

When we left the Prince of Shu's Mansion, we found a carriage waiting at the door for a long time.

Of the men in the Marquis' Mansion who came out early, the eldest master Fu Heming and the second master Fu Heyong went back first, while the four masters of the Fu family were waiting on the side.

I breathed a sigh of relief when I saw the women come out.

I attended the banquet today and felt much more tired than usual.

Not to mention the women, even the men in front were tired.

After returning to the Marquis' Mansion, he paid his respects to the old Marquis and the old lady. Uncle Fu Heming also told the old Marquis and the old lady what happened in the Prince of Shu's Mansion today.

The old marquis did not take it seriously. He thought that the Yu family was not a nobleman who had not established a firm foothold in the palace and could not be looked up to by him.

In other words, the Guan family is a little more troublesome.

However, after hearing Fu Heming say that his four grandsons seemed to be taking some action against the Guan family, the old marquis did not ask any more questions.

Just ask Fu Heming to pay more attention and prevent the children from making any big mistakes.

After all, the future of the Marquis' Mansion still depends on them brothers, and now they have the older generation to take charge, so nothing can go wrong.

However, the old lady was worried about the Princess of Shu and asked a few more questions.

After all, Concubine Yu still had some respectability in front of the King of Shu because she gave birth to the second son.

If Concubine Yu whispers too much in his ear, it would be bad if the King of Shu took his anger out on the Princess of Shu.

Fu Heming heard the old lady's words and felt that she seemed to be blaming her grandsons' wives, so he didn't know how to speak.

The old marquis was the one who had the clearest idea. "Firstly, this matter was originally poorly arranged by the Prince of Shu's Mansion. Secondly, others have already challenged us directly. The Yu family alone has already made our mansion cower. How can our mansion gain a foothold among the nobles in the capital in the future?"

"Besides, I've worked hard all my life, but I can't even protect the women and children at home, and I have to submit to the family of a concubine. What's the fun of being a marquis?"

"Jiaqi was personally appointed by the late emperor as his wife, and she has a son by her side. Her father and brothers are still alive and can support her. If she can't even control a concubine, don't even mention being the daughter of my Fu family!"

After a few words, the old lady came to her senses.

He repeatedly reminded me that I had been wronged today and there was no need to pay my respects, and I could just go back and rest.

He also asked his confidant to search his private room overnight and find some good things, and send them to the third wife's daughter-in-law and granddaughter-in-law tomorrow to calm them down.

When Jin and his group returned home, they heard the old lady say that they didn't need to pay their respects, and that the time for paying their respects tomorrow morning would be postponed for one hour.

Although it was a bit unexpected, everyone was tired, so they thanked the old lady and went back to their yards.

Fu Zhiyi and Lu Zhenzhen first sent Lan back to the yard.

Only then did the two of them slowly walk towards Tingtaoju.

Maybe it was because she drank half a pot of wine with Zhao today. Although the wine was sweet, Lu Zhenzhen felt a little dizzy after coming out in the wind.

So we didn't talk much along the way.

At this moment, he was following Fu Zhiyi with one foot deep and one foot shallow.

Fu Zhiyi hadn't noticed it before. He just thought Lu Zhenzhen was quiet today and thought she was wronged and unhappy.

I'm still thinking about how to coax her when I return to Tingtaoju.

But there were few people around at this time, and he heard something wrong with the footsteps. He turned around and silently raised the corners of his mouth.

Haitang had already sensed that Lu Zhenzhen was a little drunk, so she stepped forward to support her.

Lu Zhenzhen, however, felt that she was in great spirits, so light and healthy that she almost felt like flying.

It was just that Fu Zhiyi in front was flying faster than him, and he couldn't catch up with him no matter how hard he tried.

Anxious: "You, you fly slower——"

Before she could finish her words, she saw Fu Zhiyi stop and turn to look at her.

Lu Zhenzhen stumbled and fell into Fu Zhiyi's arms. She didn't know where she bumped into him, but her nose felt sore and tears came to her eyes.

Fu Zhiyi groaned and supported Lu Zhenzhen: "Slow down——"

Lu Zhenzhen rubbed her nose, tears still welling in her eyes: "You, you should just fly slower, w-why did you stop? You hit, you hit me!"

"I'm telling you! You're in trouble! You're in big trouble!"

Fu Zhiyi raised his eyebrows. Is he trying to scam me?
